Health Education : The Importance Of Health And Health

My interest in public health emerged when I recognized how much the health and well-being of an individual affects a community. From a young age, both my parents have struggled with their health; my mother having diabetes and my father having hypertension. I have seen how their health has affected them on the day to day basis and how it has affected those around them at a community level. As I continue to learn more about public health I am beginning to understand that many of the health problems, like the ones my parents face, can be prevented through lifestyle adjustments. Also, I have learned the most effective way to prevent diseases in a community is through advocating healthy habits to avoid health problems from emerging in the first place.

My first introduction to nutrition began at age eleven when I would often read health books at my leisure. As a result, I slowly began practicing nutritious habits and even encouraged family members to join me. After realizing how I positively impacted close family members into making healthier diet and lifestyle choices, I came to understand the value that education can have in creating change. I was eager and motivated to start a career helping others live healthier lives and desired to use my dietetics degree to make an influential impact on rural and underserved areas where resources and community organizations are limited, yet necessary.

I strongly believe health is the center of life. During my job shadowing, I observed that many patients want to work, but they couldn’t because of their health conditions. One of the patients told the provider that he really wanted to work but he couldn’t due to his back injury. Most people get their purpose from jobs, and the patient lost his job. If people are healthy, they will be more likely to contribute to their society. This inspired me to prevent illness for people to have a healthier life.

Staying healthy has contributed to my everyday life in a significant amount of ways. From the time I was in seventh grade until my sophomore year of high school, I participated in track and field. In addition, I also played basketball and did cheer my seventh grade year, I took a weight class my sophomore year and took part in CrossFit outside of school. I have also tried many different diets, eating healthy, and even the delicious smoothies that are filled with vegetables and fruits.

One issue that is currently causing a big debate in my school district is health education. Just this year, the school district has approved that sex education must be taught in all schools and is not optional. Many parents thought they would be able to decline the sex education classes; however, the classes were included in the curriculum of health education. As a result, every student must take all of the sex education classes because they are listed within the health education curriculum. In addition, the school board has also voted and approved that students 7th grade and above will also be educated on gender identity and transgender issues (Shapiro, 2015).

This swayed my decision and ultimately, I earned my B.S. Health and Exercise Science. My mission as a personal trainer for the last 8 years have included over 7,500 one-on-one personal training sessions for health promotion, rehabilitation and disease prevention. My service was based on holism, well-being that reflected the person’s ability to maximize their quality of life. My favorite clients to work with were defined as “special case” clients. These clients suffer from a range of neurological diseases, rare birth defects, the elderly, and the clinically obese population.

Health is the single most important attribute in our lives. Without heath, as a society, we could not achieve the accomplishments and scientific breakthroughs necessary to advance as a society. Many of the luxuries we enjoy today are due to being fortunate enough to be healthy, and understanding what it means to achieve good health. Health can also teach us empathy and compassion. When we witness someone who is ill, we learn to accommodate them and care for them. Health can ultimately unify us. Sports also play a unique role in our lives. Sports allow participants to gain camaraderie, and leadership while teaching us how to motivate ourselves to be better than those who are competing against us. These two things have helped me gain an interest in healthcare, mainly in becoming a sports medicine physician.
